I was trying to explore new methods of fundraising that could be fun for donors and generate more engagement.  I didn&#8217;t get much of a response, and that&#8217;s ok.  I didn&#8217;t think about it much afterward.  But in light of the devastation caused (and still being caused) by Hurricane Harvey, I thought I&#8217;d go through with the football pool, but this time with most of the donation going to Foundation Beyond Belief&#8217;s <a href="https://foundationbeyondbelief.org/hurricane-harvey-drive/" target="_blank">Hurricane Harvey drive</a>.  I&#8217;d still like to direct a small portion to Young Skeptics though, since that was the original intent.</p><div class="ad ad-container visible-xs-block">

<p><strong>So how does this work?  </strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m glad you asked.  All you need to do is go to the link below, fill out a form, and then send $10 <a href="http://paypal.me/secular" target="_blank">via PayPal</a> to secularsurvivor@gmail.com.  You can even enter the pool multiple times to increase your chances, so if you want 2 entries, send $20 and so on.  Once you&#8217;ve paid, you just pick one NFL team per week who you think is going to win their game.  If they win or tie, you stay alive for the next week.  Tha catch &#8212; you can only select each team once, so choose wisely.  The final survivor wins the pool and 50% of the pot.  The other half gets split between FBB and Young Skeptics, 35% and 15% respectively.</p>
<p>Do you need to know anything about football?  Nope. The site will have links to advice on who to pick, or you can google &#8216;NFL point spreads&#8217; and find out which teams are heavily favored for the week. Or hell, just pick whoever&#8217;s team name you like.  It&#8217;s for charity!</p><div class="ad ad-container visible-xs-block">
